Mary, This might confuse things more, however hopefully it will help. I have my relative John Wright on the 1860 census living in Jackson County, Twp.8, Range 4 west, with his Post Office being listed as Jones Creek. My Wright's were around the Ava area. Hope this helps. Debbie On Sat, 17 Mar 2007 20:53:33 -0500 "Mary Riseling" <riseling@insightbb.com> writes: > Tom, > > Wouldn't that be too far north.
